Becky Albertalli’s standalone novels sit outside her Creekwood and What If It’s Us series but carry the same warm, humorous voice. The Upside of Unrequited (2017) focuses on a teen girl overwhelmed by unrequited crushes, while Yes No Maybe So (2020), co-written with Aisha Saeed, mixes romance with political activism.
Later standalones include Kate in Waiting (2021), about a girl whose friendship is tested when she and her best friend fall for the same guy, and Imogen, Obviously (2023). Amelia, If Only is scheduled for 2025, continuing Albertalli’s steady output of character-driven YA fiction.
